Dee-dee-de-deee! (A lot of “D’s” in my title)

Draft 1 was 1,800 words.

Draft 2 came in at 5,800 words.

I stuffed a butt-load of characterization in there. I’m really kind of worried now about the overall length of the thing going forward if this kind of thing continues. Granted this is the first chapter and I feel as if the story needed this kind of personalization in order to get the reader interested in the characters. I could be wrong. Hard to say.

I am going to put this to the test however and pass out both drafts to a number of people and have them give me general reviews of the two of them. Which one had a tighter story, and which one had more interesting characters, and what lost you etc…

That is all….

-Da…(another D!)
